On September 10, Brian Eno's generative art installation 77 Million Paintings will open at the CSULB University Art Museum. Using computer software to project a constantly changing pattern or sight and sound, the exhibit consists of twelve monitors and strategically placed speakers in a darkened gallery. Viewers can sit and watch the paintings for any length of time or visit the audio room where a new music compostion by Eno will be playing. Portions of the exhibition have been presented before, but this is the first show in Southern California. Eno is not only a composer and artist. His minimalist style has influenced the many performers whose records he has produced, such as U2 and Talking Heads.
The show runs through December 13. There is a $4 admission fee. Be aware that the museum hours have been affected by California's budget cuts
On September 15, there will be a gallery lecture by UAm Director Chris Scoates at 6 pm followed by a performance by electro-pop singer Madeline Puckette on the lawn in front of the museum. Brian Eno will appear at the Carpenter Center on September 20 at 7 pm to talk about his work. Tickets cost $100. Then on October 10 there will be a free concert of sculptural sonic art at the Daniel Recital Hall at 8 pm where musicians explore the boundaries between music and sound on electronic devices. Rychard Cooper, a CSULB professor, will give a lecture called "Complexity and Beauty: The Art of Brian Eno" on October 24 at 7 pm
